Aberdeen woman plays at Carnegie Hall

Violinist Cindrie Lowder, a senior at Aberdeen High School, performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City at the beginning of February.
Twelve hundred young adults from six countries applied to perform in the "2014 High School Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall."
The applicants were narrowed down to 200 in the choir; 100 in the band and 100 in the orchestra.
"I met a lot of kids and made a lot of new friends," said Cindrie Lowder.
"We practiced from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. for three days," she said.
"The director had us play a chord and then cut us off so we could hear the acoustics in the building," said Cindrie. "The acoustics are wonderful, amazing. Everything in the music is magnified.
(No microphones are used in the hall.)
